Calvert didn’t know what happened inside the ward and stayed at the door.

Meanwhile, Ash grew irritated and snorted, “The older you get, the more stubborn you become. If you don’t want to see your grandson–in–law, forget it!

“I know there’s nothing wrong with your sight, Grandma. You only refuse to see him, right? In that case, don’t bother!”

On the other hand, Sofia didn’t fall for her trick. She waved her hand, closed her eyes, and pretended to fall asleep. Seeing this, Ash became helpless and soon left without saying a word.

Ash was physically and mentally exhausted. If Sofia was healthy, she had other ways. However, Sofia was in a poor state. She didn’t dare to say too much, let alone explain too much. Hence, she was unable to use strong methods.

Ash went out to see Calvert on the side, looking worried. “What’s going on? Is everything okay? Or did Grandma refuse to be discharged?

Ash lowered her gaze. There was a hint of melancholy in her cold eyes. “Well, she refused. No matter what I said, she kept rejecting it. Dexter should have explained something to her before.

“Since this plan doesn’t work, we must go to the source. Maybe Dexter said something beforehand because he had another plan. Perhaps we can ask him directly,” Calvert suggested.

Ash also had this intention, but she hoped Sofia could tell her the problem, or at least what Dexter had said.

The two stood side by side in the corridor. Ash looked desperate. “This gives me a headache. My life is full of twists and accidents. I also told my grandma you are my fiancé but didn’t mention that we’re doing this as a charade.

“Do you mind keeping up this charade?” Ash looked at his dark side and said lightly, “This partnership between us is getting more and more interesting.”

Ash’s words were somewhat self–deprecating, “Calvert, have you ever imagined what would happen if our cooperation couldn’t end after a year?

“What would we do in the future if I needed your help or vice versa?” She leaned back against the wall and looked at him quietly.

Calvert pondered for a few seconds, “Who can say clearly what will happen in the future? It’s pointless to overthink it, Ash.”

She was not surprised by his calm analysis and replied, “You’re right. Instead of regretting the past and worrying about the future, living in the present is better.

“But do you feel that our relationship has become better?” Ash suddenly thought of something. “I don’t know if it’s true or I’m being overly affectionate.”

Calvert’s cold eyes softened a bit at that moment. He looked away and said nothing.

Both of them knew exactly what the answer was. However, it was not the so–called self–indulgence.

“Have you ever thought that maybe Dexter wants something from you?” Calvert suddenly mumbled.

Sofia’s issue had always been Ash’s issue. Hence, she fully respected Ash’s decision. If she needed help, Sofia would not shirk

or refuse.

Ash shook her head, “I will solve this matter. Dexter only wants money. Bringing up Grandma at this critical moment is too

“However, if he thought he had cornered me, he had made a fatal mistake.” Ash’s eyes burned with anger.

She hated Dexter but didn’t plan to target Dexter. Unfortunately, Dexter was vengeful. If she didn’t do something, he would never let her off.

Dexter arrived at the hospital an hour later, wearing black short–sleeves and simple jeans. Since his figure was not out of shape, people would see him as a middle–aged man.

However, since the news of his bankruptcy spread, his sideburns have turned white, and his face didn’t look as fresh as he used to.

“Have you seen your grandma?” Dexter looked confident. “She has become so thin. It’s not that I abused her, but because of stomach cancer. She can’t eat for a long time and always feels nauseous.”

Dexter paused and added, “I’ve told her I would take her home, but she was unwilling and insisted on living here. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her.”

Dex said hopelessly when the two met. However, Ash didn’t even say a word. Her dark eyes were filled with a strong sense of scrutiny. “Is that all you want to tell me? Do you still remember who raised you?

“Do you still remember what grandma was like a few years ago? How many times have you seen her in the past few years? You should be able to count it with your fingers, right?”

There was still some contempt in her eyes. “Thanks to Grandma’s sacrifice, you can be where you are today. If she didn’t starve herself to this point, you wouldn’t be able to leave the village!”

Dexter’s face looked embarrassed and angry. “What right do you have to talk about me? If it wasn’t for me, would you be where you are today? How are you treating me now?

“Have you done yapping? Why are you treating me like a stranger? As you grow older, you’ve grown distant. What right do you have to lecture me?” Dexter bit this point and didn’t let go.

Dexter’s rotten personality was fully exposed, and Ash felt her arguments were pointless. Dexter would only drain her emotionally.

Ash’s gaze grew colder, yet she remained dignified. “So you mean that if I treat you well, you will treat Grandma well? Is that what you mean?”

“Yes. You only need to transfer 150,000 dollars to me, and I can help you convince her now. You can take her wherever you

want to take her!”

Ash laughed coldly with some pity in her eyes. “You’ve always been like this. Okay, I can give you 150,000, but you must convince Grandma and make me her guardian.”
